FROM THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDINGMany thousands does of years ago there were no houses such as people live in today. In hot countries people sometimes made their homes in the trees and used leaves to protect themselves from rain or sun. In colder countries they dwelt in caves. Later people left their caves and trees and began to build houses out of different materials such as mud, wood or stones.Later people found out that bricks made of mud and dried in the hot sunshine became almost as hard as stones. In Ancient Egypt especially, people learned to use these sun-dried mud bricks. Some of their buildings are still standing after several years of thousands does.The Ancient Egyptians discovered how to cut stone for building purposes. They erected temples, palaces and huge tombs. The greatest tomb is the stone pyramid of Khufu, king of Egypt. The ancient Egyptians often erected their huge constructions to commemorate their kings or pharaohs.The ancient Greeks also understood the art of building with cut stone, and their buildings were beautiful as well as useful. They often used pillars partly for supporting the roofs and partly for decoration. Parts of these ancient buildings can still be seen today in Greece.The Romans were great bridge, harbour and road builders. In road work, the Romans widely used timber piles. They also erected aqueducts, reservoirs, water tanks, etc. Some of their constructions are still used till now. It is well-known that the manufacture of lime is one of the oldest industries used by man. Lime is a basic building material used all over the world as today so in the ancient world. One of the Romans, Marcus Porcius Cato, gave an idea of a kiln for lime production: its shape and dimensions. Such kilns were fired with wood or coal and were extremely inefficient. There are still many remains of kilns in some places of Great Britain as well as roads and the famous Hadrian's Wall, which was erected to protect the Romans from the celtic tribes in the first century A.D. Britain was a province of the Roman Empire for about four centuries. There are many things today in Britain, to remind the people of the Roman: towns, roads, wells and the words. In a period of 800 to 900 years the Romans developed concrete to the position of the main structural material in the empire. It is surprising, therefore, that after the fall of the Empire, much of the great knowledge should have disappeared so completely. The knowledge of how to make durable concrete has been lost for centuries, but mention was made of it in the writings of architects from time to time.Fusion of Roman and North European traditions in construction was reflected in many ways. Buildings combined the Roman arch and the steep peaked roof of Northern Europe. Roman traditions were continued in the architectural form known as Romanesque. London Bridge, finished in 1209, took thirty-three years to build. It consisted of nineteen pointed arches with its irregular piers resting on the broad foundation, which was designed to withstand the Thames.The Roman period was followed by other periods each of which its own type of mass-produced architecture and building materials. During the last hundred years many new methods of building have been discovered. One of the recent discoveries is the usefulness of steel as a building material.В наши дни , когда необходимо иметь очень высокое здание, каркас из него сначала построен в стали , а затем в процессе строительства, в бетоне. Бетон представляет собой искусственный вид камня, гораздо дешевле , чем кирпич или натуральный камень и гораздо сильнее , чем они. Египтяне использовали его в строительстве мостов, дорог и городских стен. Есть свидетельства , чем древние греки также использовали бетон для строительных целей. Использование бетона древних римлян можно проследить, насколько 500 г. до н.э. Они были первыми , чтобы использовать его на протяжении древней Римской империи на довольно больших масштабах и многих конструкций из бетона остаются до сегодняшнего дня, таким образом доказывая долгий срок службы зданий из бетона. Конечно, это не конкретные люди используют сегодня был. Она состояла из грязи, глины и чистой извести, которые использовались для хранения вместе грубо щебня в фундаменте и стенах. Это был так называемый "псевдо-бетон". Идея такого строительного материала могла быть позаимствована от древних греков , как некоторые образцы его были найдены в развалинах Помпеи.
